Only $4 million of his contract is fully guaranteed for 2021/22, and there's a very good likelihood they could waive him and save $8 million considering he's really nothing more than a part time role player for them (who is currently being played off the floor in the playoffs).
And yes, they did see Collins as a foundational piece of the franchise, which is why they used a lottery pick on him.
Right so I am just saying Nurkic + KP doesn't make sense. Collins is probably gone. I don't know if Portland would see KP as some huge upgrade. Maybe? Who knows.
